Al Gore Among the Wingnuts –Part 1
Rep. Marsha Blackburn contributes to our understanding of the business of climate change by accusing known socialist — Al Gore — for investing in climate change industries rather than have the state take them over. Or maybe she thinks that the State should take over the means of the production of global warming. [...]

‘Bulo’s Saturday Music for the Masses – Robert Earl Keen Edition
Today’s edition was hijacked by nemski from El Somnambulo mainly because The Beast Who Slumbers was going to write about some 1980s English Boy Band — I just couldn’t let that happen.
One of the many problems we human beings have like to have things labeled which assists us wrong in prejudging something, anything, based on [...]
The Sham of the Climate Change Deniers
The NYT Friday writes this must read piece of reporting on how the corporate climate change deniers came to ignore their own internal review panel — who wrote:
“The scientific basis for the Greenhouse Effect and the potential impact of human emissions of greenhouse gases such as CO2 on climate is well established and cannot be [...]
Hostage Calls Out Racist Rush
You know, Rush Limbaugh has issues. During the Somali Pirate hostage situation earlier this month, Rush Limbaugh was in rare form. After President Obama gave the order on Thursday to shoot and kill the three pirates if the captain’s life was in danger, it is understandable that such an order would [...]

Newt Gingrich: Adulterer and Grifter Extraordinaire
Newt Gingrich scammed $7.3 million in $200 increments out of small time Republican donors and blew it on $3.3 million on private plane charters in 2008.
desmoinesdem at MYDD has the full run down, but the basic con is this:
1) Newt’s organization “American Solutions” phone banks calling lists with fundraising call disguised as [...]

Say Goodnight Bobby
Louisiana’s Liberty and Justice for All! writes that Jindhal is wants to write a book, which as we all know is the first step for potential Presidential candidates. Word for Publisher’s Row is that the National Association of Insomniacs will be publishing it.

NY20 + Dem Win = R megafailure
I like the way the DNC is keeping the heat on by using the Murphy win to continue to brand the Republicans as the party of absolute, utter, clusterf*cky failure.

Breaking: Markell to Address Joint Session of General Assembly
When the Governor speaks to a joint session of the General Assembly in late April, you can bet it isn’t to swap Easter/Passover stories.
In fact, ‘bulo can’t remember the last time that a Governor addressed the GA so late in session before.
However, that is precisely what’s going to happen on Tuesday, April 28 at 2 [...]
A Christian Argument for Progressive Taxes
Diane Butler Bass writes that as a Christian she enjoys paying taxes.
Wednesday morning, at 9 a.m. sharp, I took my tax payment to the local post office. When I handed it to the clerk, she said, “I hate tax day.” I replied, “Not me. I don’t love parting with the money, but I kinda like [...]
Friday’s Open Thread
Philadelphia Flyers win just to tease fans a little more — it’s a Philly thing.
Wilmington Trusts turns a first quarter profit making everyone who lives in Yorklyn, Rockland and Montchanin very happy, while New Castle County faces tough times and still the Yorklyn-Rockland-Montchanin crowd remain happy.
And, finally, Paul Krugman writes:
We are, or at least we [...]

Quote of the Day
We [the Republican Party] have to be comfortable recruiting candidates who do not fit the profile of an Alabama conservative.
— Steve Schmidt, McCain Campaign’s chief strategist
24 Percent
A recent Pew Research Center poll shows that America, in general, is very happy with President Obama. Turns out that the Republican Party with their sore loser cries, tea bags and faux indignation could only muster a top off at 24% unfavorable rating toward America’s president. Compare this to the Worst.President.Ever had a 35% unfavorable [...]

Point and Laugh for 4/24
Dana says that our enemies do worse, so torture is okay. A commenter who shows some common sense says:
When I was six years old, Dana, my mother taught me that just because someone else does it, doesn’t mean I should do it.
Congratulations, the United States is not quite as bad as the Taliban, despite, you [...]
‘Bulo’s Top 10 2010 Republican Targets-#2
5th Senatorial District-Cathy Cloutier
Caustic film critic Pauline Kael once famously called quasi-film star Don Ameche, “The zero who sings.”
Don Ameche, meet Cathy Cloutier. Like Ameche, Cloutier is likable and well-intentioned. Like Ameche on film, as a legislator, she’s just there, although sans mustache. Like Ameche, she brings nothing else to the table. And Don Ameche [...]
The Tease.
So Mike Castle is telling Celia Cohen and Roll Call that if he is going to run for an elected office in 2010, he is “leaning more toward running for Senate rather than another term in the House, if he decides to run for Congress again in 2010.” He also reveals that he is [...]

Around the Horn Friday
Life marches on in the First State. Except for Delaware Politics, which in the last week (from Friday April 17 to Friday April 24) has had two posts, both concerning that week’s release of Coastal Sussex. Well, I guess it is representative of the problem facing the Republican Party: no new [...]

Final Thought
Sometimes I wonder if maybe Tom Carper is encouraging Castle to run for Senate, so they can go on riding Amtrak together for 6 more years. Castle would support Carper’s watered-down no-brainer environmental agenda, Carper would support Castle’s money picture schemes, and together they’d protect big corporations from consumers. I’m not saying Carper would actively [...]
